Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Ok?"

Hisami Ente frowned, sensing that the power emanating from his Zanpakuto wasn't as strong as he had expected.

Or rather, a bit weak?

Am I just imagining things?

Hisami Iyate subconsciously increased his power output.

The veins on the arm of the man opposite the heavy mace suddenly bulged, and he let out an excited low roar, as if he was squeezing out the potential of his body.

But as the impacts continued to come, he could no longer withstand them and was instantly sent flying backward, piercing through a building below and creating a tremendous dust wave.

Hisami Ente: "..."

By the way, could we let Naraku Sora be the captain of the Ninth Division?

This guy named Kensei Muguruma seems a bit too weak.

Amidst the ruins, the fierce winds rose once more.

The pillar of spiritual pressure dispersed the dust waves, and wisps of azure wind swirled and erupted.

Kensei Muguruma's voice echoed across the battlefield, attracting countless excited gazes.

That was the expectation the Shinigami soldiers had for their captain.

"Swastika!"

"Iron Fist Cuts Through the Wind!"

Seeing that terrifying aura, Hisami Ente's face broke into a smile again.

That's more like it.

Although I don't know what their specific abilities are, at least they haven't been too unworthy of their status.

After completing his Bankai, Kensei Muguruma looked into the distance again, his enormous bald head drawing considerable attention.

A fighting spirit seemed to burn in his eyes.

This time, we must wash away the shame left by the previous mission!

On the other side, two figures with somewhat similar appearances stood facing each other on a stone pillar.

This relatively peaceful attitude stands in stark contrast to that on other battlefields.

"That's really unexpected."

Shihouin Sennatsu scratched his head, and said in surprise:

"I never expected that the captain of the Second Division would be you, Yoruichi."

"Could it be that the Shihouin family has fallen so low that a junior has to shoulder the responsibility?"

Yoruichi grinned:

"Uncle, you are underestimating me."

"Couldn't I be the one with exceptional talent, naturally inherit the position of head, and incidentally bring the Second Division under my control?"

Upon hearing this, Shihouin Senri was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment:

"You mean..."

"That's right!"

Yoruichi straightened her back, looking like she was showing off her grades to her parents, and laughed heartily:

"Standing before you is the 22nd head of the Shihōin family!"

"Captain of the Second Division and Commander-in-Chief of the Covert Mobile Force, and Commander of the First Division's Execution Army Corps!"

Shihouin Sennichi scratched his head, looking puzzled:

"That doesn't make sense."

"Even if you are very talented and have already reached the captain level at a young age, the internal struggles within our family are complicated, and you can't outmaneuver those old guys."

As the former head of the Shihōin family, no one knew the family's internal situation better than him.

Despite being one of the five noble families of Soul Society, with immense power and influence, they are not as powerful as they seem.

In reality, however, different factions existed within the organization, and the elders fought each other endlessly, refusing to submit to one another, making it impossible for Yoruichi to be chosen as the leader.

"really."

Yoruichi nodded in agreement.

When I was dealing with those old guys, I was exhausted and had no energy left to handle the affairs of the Second Division.

Fortunately, she encountered a daring guy.

With swift and decisive action, he nipped all the trouble in the bud.

Moreover, that guy went to great lengths to practice his free-fighting techniques with me, again and again, and even optimized the incomplete Instant Smash technique.

Thinking of this, Yoruichi smiled happily.

Having that guy around is such a happy thing.

Seeing the smile on her niece's face, Shihouin Chihiro's heart skipped a beat.

As someone who's been through it all, he knows very well what that smile means.

Damn it, someone with ill intentions must have deceived his little Yoruichi!

“Uncle, you may not believe it, but that’s the truth.”

Yoruichi didn't hide anything and simply recounted what Naraku had done.

"It was thanks to Sora's help that I was able to take control of the Shihouin family so quickly and officially become the head of the family."

"The reason I said so much is to gain the approval of my elders."

"Although you are controlled by the will of hell, as long as I have the time, I can definitely help you break free from this bondage..."

Shihouin Senji's gaze was heavy, as if the Captain-Commander had died.

He never imagined that only a few hundred years after his death, his only descendant would have already found someone worthy of entrusting his life to.

Is this perfectly healthy little cabbage about to be eaten by a pig?

He can't accept this!

"No, I have to go and test that kid's ingredients."

Unable to contain her restless emotions, Shihouin Sennatsu prepared to forcibly leave the current battle and join another battlefield.

However, just as she took her first step, Yoruichi, who had been behind her, suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Uncle."

“I can’t let you disturb Kong; what he’s doing right now is very important.”

Sifengyuan Qianri: "?"

Seeing Yoruichi siding with outsiders, he was completely enraged.

A violent demonic pressure erupted, swirling around his limbs. The moment his right foot stepped forward, his left leg burst forth with terrifying power.

The stone pillars creaked and groaned.

……

……

A man with a gray ponytail, freckles on his face, and a dejected expression walked among the ruins, searching for a suitable opponent.

He was the first captain of the Fourth Division, Shishima Chigiri.

As one of the first captains to enter Hell, he learned from later recruits that the Fourth Division had been transformed into a medical division.

Specifically responsible for logistics.

He was very dissatisfied with this.

Why did he change the Fourth Division into a medical division when he was clearly the bravest person on the battlefield?

Why doesn't that old guy Yamamoto turn the Eleventh Division into a logistics unit?

This is clearly taking advantage of his early death to bully his subordinates at will.

Those kids were all top-notch fighters, always the first to charge in whenever a war broke out.

But now I've been assigned to logistics.

This is a blatant insult!

Shijima Chigiri grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could go to Yamamoto right there and demand justice.

However, I wasn't sure what to expect.

Despite being enhanced by hell, he is now several times stronger than he was in life.

But facing that monstrous boss, there was still no chance of victory.

To survive three blows is an extraordinary feat.

However, even though he can't beat Yamamoto, he can still teach the current captain of the Fourth Division a lesson.

If they are too weak and would tarnish the reputation of the Fourth Division, then we might as well kill them and drag them back to hell.

Let Yamamoto go find a new captain.

Having made up his mind, Shijima Chigiri quickly arrived at the Fourth Division barracks.

Because it was a medical unit, none of the members of the Fourth Division participated in the battle. Instead, they stayed at the general medical facility to treat any wounded that might be injured.

The opponents in this war are not only the original captains.

There are also wicked people who have fallen into hell because of their grave sins.

Although they lack the strength of captains, they still pose a considerable threat to ordinary soldiers and officers.

Following the spiritual pressure, Shijima Chigiri finally spotted the Fourth Division Captain directing his men.

Just then, the person also noticed something and looked over with gentle eyes:
